4 IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION Safety Instructions • DO NOT store or use gasoline, or other flammable liquids in the vicinity of this or any other appliance. Read product labels for warnings regarding flammability and other hazards. • DO NOT operate the refrigerator in the presence of explosive fumes. Before disposing of an old refrigerator/ freezer: • Remove doors. • Leave shelves in place so children may not easily climb inside. • Have refrigerant removed by a qualified service technician. • Avoid contact with any moving parts of automatic ice maker. • Remove all staples from the carton. Staples can cause severe cuts, and also destroy finishes if they come in contact with other appliances or furniture. Child Safety Destroy or recycle the carton, plastic bags, and any exterior wrapping material immediately after the refrigerator is unpacked. Children should NEVER use these items to play. Cartons covered with rugs, bedspreads, plastic sheets or stretch wrap may become airtight chambers, and can quickly cause suffocation. Proper Disposal of Refrigerator or Freezer Risk of child entrapment Child entrapment and suffocation are not problems of the past. Junked or abandoned refrigerators or freezers are still dangerous - even if they will sit for "just a few days". When disposing of an old refrigerator or freezer, please follow the instructions below to help prevent accidents. Proper Disposal of Refrigerators/Freezers We strongly encourage responsible appliance recycling/disposal methods. Check with the utility company or visit www.energystar.gov/ recycle for more information on recycling an old refrigerator. IMPORTANT CFC/HCFC Disposal Some old refrigerators may have a cooling system that used CFCs or HCFCs (chlorofluorocarbons or hydrochlorofluorocarbons). CFCs and HCFCs are believed to harm stratospheric ozone if released to the atmosphere. Other refrigerants may also cause harm to the environment if released to the atmosphere. If disposing of an old refrigerator, make sure the refrigerant is removed for proper disposal by a qualified technician. Intentionally released refrigerant may subject one to fines and imprisonment under provisions of environmental legislation.
